  1. Add more login options for Community

    Currently the only login option is Login with Apple, which many users can’t access. A simple email login and/or Login with Google would be great.

  3. Sticker Size

    I don’t know if this is just me, but I noticed that when using a sticker from my saves, it's size varies depending on the zoom percentage that I'm on currently. For example, when I'm on a document while zoomed out and use a sticker and readjust it's position after zooming in, it's size seems to get different. This is really unsatisfying, because I use the stickers option for bullet points, as there isn’t an option yet to do that separately.

  4. Erase imported pdf datas

    There should be a feature to erase the imported pdfs in a way that will clean the places we do not want. Erase with a pen, but it can also erase embedded information in a pdf. Like Adobe Scan cleaner feature.

  6. Fix Disabling Screen Auto Lock

    iPad still locks even with "Automatic Screen Lock" disabled when having multiple GoodNotes windows open; not necessarily in splitscreen, just instances.

    If only one GoodNotes window exists in my iPad active apps, the screen doesn't lock (stays awake as desired). Multiple GoodNotes instances defeat this feature.

  7. View Hyperlinks results in Split View

    I would like to see a feature that allows me to click on an Internal Link of a pdf document, and shows its result (which views a specific portion of a specific page on the same document) on the other Window of Split View (not the same opened one!).

    It is so useful for reviewing Notes and Textbooks that contain internal hyperlinks without having to go back to the original page each time after view the hyperlink result (page view)

  8. Batch import of Files / Images into page order

    When batch importing images / files (via icloud) they are placed in random page order and need to be manually sorted.

    Example. I photograph my hand drawn Moleskine note books into Goodnotes as a reference and archive. BUT, the images in Icloud are all in a numbered order, but they are randomly imported in Goodnotes and I need to spend a considerable time putting them in order.

  9. Add memo

    Sometimes I want to jot notes , but there isn’t enough space , however I don’t want to add new page but just write next to the words. Is it possible to add memo ( like the add comment feature) , so when I click the little memo icon , it will expend into large memo . Or just to add space between lines. Thank you .

  10. Lines for notes

    When importing a PDF of slides (say of class notes, or a presentation) it would have an option to put three slides per page with lines on the side or bottom for taking notes.

  14. Clean Page Transition WITHOUT any effect + a REAL presentation mode.

    Paging Transition WITHOUT any effect (like one can with PowerPoint or Adobe Acrobat).
    I use GoodNotes in virtual meetings as well in presence ones. The page transition animation are ‘nice at first’ but always distracting, specially in cases of two or more pages that are identical except a few visual clues (like an added box to call attention to a detail)… in those cases a clean, seemless transition, is a MUST.
    I saw many other suggestions of the kind here, all SHUTDOWN by some ‘moderator’ as being a non issue that you can set the presentation mode to always full…

  17. Community sticker packs

    Being able to share and download actual sticker packs or “elements” on the community section. Right now all the stickers are just a note with the stickers on it and you have to screenshot and crop all the “freebie” stickers.

  19. Automatic PDF sync with Dropbox, iCloud, ... Without the need to export the files

    Workflow now as a Student:
    1. Getting a bunch of pdf from the lecturer
    2. Using a Cloud service (my case dropbox), I organize the whole semester with the files I need
    3. When needed importing a pdf to goodnotes, modifying it, and eventually exporting it, but not handy since the files get updated continuously from time to time.

    The Problem: The files are in two different locations, to access the updated file you have to open GoodNotes, or navigate OUTSIDE of your working directory.

    Workflow desired as a Student:
    1. Getting a bunch of pdf from the lecturer
    2.…

  20. Black page with white-line edges on the black background

    I am using a black page on the black background.
    For a longer battery time, I usually set my screen less brightly, but it is difficult to distinguish the border of each page.
    So, my suggestion is to provide white edges as a border of every black page so that users can easily perceive when a page starts or ends.
